China Entertainment Times 1999

Chapter 50 "Good Spring"

Two hours later, Lin Xuan sat shirtless on the sofa, drank some water, and then lit a cigarette.

There was the sound of running water in the bathroom.

The cigarette went out and the sound of water stopped.

Chen Hong wore a bathrobe and sat next to him with bare feet.

Perhaps because she had taken a shower, her skin was all pink.

Chen Hong leaned her head on his shoulder and held him quietly.

Lin Xuan has entered sage mode at this moment and has no reaction to this.

After a long while, Chen Hong asked: "Have you received any good scripts during this time?"

Lin Xuan smiled.

"What? Do you want to give your little lover a character?"

Chen Hong hit his arm with her small fist:
"No, I care about you, and I don't have the ability. Lao Chen hasn't planned to make a movie in the past two years, otherwise I can still help."

"Okay, don't worry about filming." Lin Xuan reached out and pulled her into his arms:
"I have no shortage of movies to shoot now, mainly because they haven't been aired yet. When "Little Li's Flying Knife" and "The Two Young Masters" are aired in August, the situation will be much better."

"Hey, "Daming Palace Ci" is too slow. It won't be released until next year." Chen Hong complained silently.

The production speed of mainland dramas is really too slow, far inferior to that of Hong Kong and Taiwan.

In Hong Kong and Taiwan, it takes basically half a year from start-up to broadcast, while in mainland China it generally takes about a year.

"By the way, does Wang Jinhua have any plans for you?"

"She had the same idea as you and asked me to stick to the route of a costumed male god."

"And what are your thoughts?"

"For now, I think this is a feasible path."

Unless the system is upgraded to provide him with a better path, the ancient costume route is quite popular.

"Well, take your time, don't be in a hurry."

"Hey, you must be anxious."

…………

"Crack! Finish work!"

Beijing is getting hotter in May, with the highest temperature approaching [-] degrees at noon.

It was torture to film in this weather.

Lin Xuan's costume was soaked with sweat. When the director shouted, he quickly ran to the lounge to blow on the air conditioner.

"This weather is so damn hot."

Lin Xuan sat down on the sofa and breathed heavily.

"Give you."

Chen Hong took out a bottle of mineral water and handed it over.

"Instead of drinking water, I want to drink iced Coke."

"Coke is not healthy."

Chen Hong muttered, but still handed him a bottle of iced Coke.

Lin Xuan took two sips, and a chill spread from his stomach to his whole body.

Ever since their relationship broke down, Chen Hong has been taking care of him like a little girl.

Taking away all the work that originally belonged to protecting the strong.

In just a few days, the attitude has changed 180 degrees, and the crew members are not blind, and they will definitely be able to see it.

Chen Hong thought of a good way to directly ask Lin Xuan to recognize her as her god sister.

No one can find anything wrong with the elder sister taking care of her younger brother.

Lin Xuan refused at first because he didn't want to get involved in this family relationship.

If Chen Hong wants to become her god-sister, then he cannot call Chen Kaige her god-sister.

Then what did Chen He call him?

It’s a mess. If someone gives me a dollar, I’ll go to the supermarket door and shake it to understand.

But before he could object, Chen Hong had already told the story.

Now everyone in the crew knows it, and they are envious of Lin Xuan for finding a backer.

Lin Xuan could only smile helplessly at this.

But now that the deal is done, we can only let her go.

After lunch, Lin Xuan wandered around in several lounges out of boredom.

Go to Xu Zheng's place to smoke a cigarette, go to Xiao Taohong's room to smoke watermelon, and then enter the screenwriter's room.

The co-writer of this drama is Wang Yuan, who is in his 20s, wears black-rimmed glasses, and looks like a standard intellectual. "Lin Xuan, what do you want from me?"

"It's okay. I'm bored and wandering around. Editor Wang, let's have a watermelon, iced."

Lin Xuan borrowed flowers to offer to Buddha and handed the watermelon from Xiao Taohong to the screenwriter.

"Thanks."

"You're welcome."

Glancing around the lounge, I saw a few pieces of paper on Wang Yuan's desk.

Lin Xuan asked casually: "Is screenwriter Wang still changing the lines?"

The scriptwriter needs to be a permanent resident of the crew to prevent temporary problems with lines or plots during the filming process, so that they can be modified in a timely manner.

In later generations, some outstanding artists would bring their own screenwriters into the group.

Any lines that they don't like can be changed directly by their own writers without bothering the crew.

"It's not the lines, it's the lyrics." Wang Yuan explained while eating melon:
"I had nothing to do, so I just wrote a song based on the plot. I don't know if Producer Fan would like it."

"So that's it. Screenwriter Wang is so talented, he must be chosen."

Lin Xuan said with a smile and a firm tone.

Although it was just a quick glance, he also saw a few lyrics.

"What a wonderful spring time, it's better to have a dream..."

This phrase is so familiar that I can sing it every time I recite it.

It's just that I didn't pay attention to who wrote the lyrics and music before, but I didn't expect to meet the original author today.

theme song?
Lin Xuan's mind turned around and an idea came to his mind.

He didn't say anything. After going home in the evening, he directly spent 8000 points and bought a course on "Popular Music Singing".

There are 72 lessons in total and can be completed in nine days.

Yes, he had his eye on this song.

Looking at today's film and television industry, no matter how big or small the stars are, whether they have talent or not, they all have to sing a few songs.

With his drake voice, Brother Xun also sang a lot of theme songs and interludes, and even released an album a few years later.

In fact, it’s not their fault. After all, celebrities have to perform in commercials. If they don’t have a few songs to play, what can you do if you go there?

You can't go to the scene and say that I will perform "Three Seconds of Tears" for you, or show off some acting skills on the spot.

Singing is still the most practical. Even if you are not good at singing, you can still lip-sync.

The reason why Lin Xuan chose the song "Good Spring" is very simple.

The song is not difficult to sing, the melody is catchy, and it is highly popular, which is very suitable for a half-empty singer like him.

In order to explain his sudden singing skills.

He also contacted Wang Jinhua and asked her to help find a professional music teacher.

Wang Jinhua was very supportive of his desire to learn singing and even paid for his singing lessons.

There was no other way, just the two steel coins in Lin Xuan's pocket, he couldn't find a teacher at the art exam training level.

Wang Jinhua is very efficient.

Within two days, I contacted a professor from the Conservatory of Music, who mainly teaches pop singing.

The teacher's surname is Sun. She is an old lady in her 50s. She looks amiable with glasses.

When we met, Teacher Sun asked: "Have you ever learned to sing before?"

Lin Xuan has learned vocal music in "Voice Table Shape Table", but he doesn't know if it counts as learning singing.

"No, but I quite like singing, and I feel pretty good about myself."

"Then just sing two verses. Any song will do."

"Good teacher."

He began to recall popular songs from recent years in his mind.

In the 90s, many powerful musicians emerged from mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan.

The music is so classic that it still sounds dated even more than a decade later.

There were so many good songs that Lin Xuan couldn't find which one to sing.

"Don't be nervous, just sing whatever you want. If you sang well, you wouldn't be here, right?"

Teacher Sun thought he was nervous and started to comfort him.

After struggling for a long time, Lin Xuan found a favorite song.

"Teacher, then I will sing "Norwegian Wood" by Wu Bai."

"Okay, let's sing."
